liquors should not be allowed even as a
medicine. DR.. j. Renfrew, of Ala.
| bama, read the report of the committee
on systematic beneYolence. 1t urged
the chief purpose was to secure the
blessing or regular and cheerful giving
| for every member of the Baptist
Church in the south. 1t recommended
complete cooperation between the con,
yentIon and state conventions and
General Assembly. 1t recon-
mended that the state organiza-
tons use every effort to secure a
pledged amount by contributions from
every member weekly or monthly; that
state boards be appointed and church
meetings for mission and benevolent
work be appointed for every fifth Sat
urday and Sunday in the months of
the year; that pastors be given as
much freedom for the work of pro-
noting systematic benevolence as pos
slble, and appropriate committees of
this Convention be instructed to devote
themselves to this work. After long
discussion the report was adopted. The
report OF the committee on the CO
operation of the Home Mission Board
with the State Mission Board was read.
Ii stated that under the present form
directly with the General
Board do not receive a
fair representation in the convention.
Therefore it recommended an amend
ment to the constitution of the conven-
ton, giving in addition to the present
representation to each state in the con-
vention one delegate for each $500
spent for missions within its own
bounds. The Rev. j. Z. Eagle, of Kan
sas, made minority report relating to
the present basis of representation.
The minority report was adopted. G.
III. Strickland, from the committee on
nominations, submitted a report, which
was adopted. j. p. Green, of Missouri,
is named as one of the Yice-presidentS
of the home missionary board.
AT meeting of the Alumni of the
Baptist Theological Seminary, Dr.
BOyce stated that the seminary had been
placed where it is by its removal to
Louisville. There have been about
500 students at the institution. He
said, the Palmer building is approach
ing completion. It will cost S74 600.
Another and grander edifice will be GRE
ated on Broadway. Iwould like to have
this built with money given OF raised
by old students. A gentleman of New
York offers SIS, 900 if we raise $75, 200
additional, one half of which must go
to endow a professorship. During
meeting 81 100 were subscribed by stu
dents as the nucleus of the fund,
which it is propOsed~t to raise. The
funds, 100000 in real estate, in addi-
ton to the lot on Broadway and a
large amount of invested funds. At

Destructive Fire at Garden City.
Special to the DAILY NEWS.

GARDEN CITY, May b, 1887.
EDITOR NEws:-The citizens of Gar
den City were aroused from their slum-
bers this morning at about 2:30 o'clock
by an alarm of fire, and in few min
utes citizens by the hundreds were
rushing to the scene of conf1agration,
which proved to be in the drug store of
G.. w. Clayton, southwest corner of
Main and Chestnut streets. There
was considerable wind from the
northwest and the flames spread
rapidly until two-thirds of the
block was a mass of glaring, devouring
flames, which, at times, leaped nearly
across Main street, which is an hun
dred feet wide, and it was only by hard
work that the business houses on the
east side of the street were saved. The
origin of the fire is as yet mystery,
some believing it to be the work of an
incendiary, while, perhaps, a majority
incline to the belief that it was the re-
suit of some one carelessly dropping a
lighted cigar. The fire swept every
thing before it until it reached F.
Fimp's two story brick building
which successfully resisted the flames,
though it was considerably damaged.
The total damage will reach about
$50, 900, with an insurance of between
s12, 600 and S15, 900. The buildings de-
stroyed, twelve in number, were all
frame and occupied as follows:
G.. w. CLAYTON. drug store.
Alex. Weltman, restaurant.
| Mrs. Adams, restaurant.
Bank of Western Kansas, furniture
and building.
Smith s. Smith, general merchandise
A. Busenback, billiard fixtures.
G. w. Jackson, barber shop.
w. III. Murray, butcher shop.
| DIR. Mitchell, drug store.
Harry Weltman, restaurant.
| A. E. Masters, law Office.
Besides another building which was
unoccupied and the Garden City Rea
Estate exchange, a photograph gallery
and several Offices which occupied
rooms on the second floor. Just two
months have passed since Garden Cit
experienced another big fire, which
swept away two-thirds of a block Of
business houses.
Contracts are already let for new
brick buildings on a portion OF the burn
district, and it is thought the whole O.
it will be erebuiIt during this year
There are at least thirty-two new stoni

IN the Kansas City News of last ev.
ening we find the following:
An excursion will leave Kansas CITY
tomorrow morning to attend the big
auction sale Of real estate at Emporia,
George II. Clark, who has charge of the
distribution of tickets for the trip
which are free, informed News re-
porter this morning that over a thous-
and people would go from Kansas City,
and that the tickets could not be fur
. nished fast enough to supply the de-
mand. Emporia is the handsomest
and wealthiest city in Kansas and her
public spirited citizens are abreast of
the wonderful boom which the town is
experiencing. This is a good chance
for q pleasant trip and profitable in
vestment.
All morning the city has been in a
ferment and excited preparation fol
our guests from the Kaw's mouth. at
an early hour those who were fortu-
nate enough to have anything in the
shape of flags or bunting started to
decorate their buildings with it, but as
the supply was inadequate to the de-
mand, many who would have Joined in
decorating were per force made to do
without. Nevertheless, not a few
places were well displayed and made a
good appearance.
Many kilograms were received dur
ing the forenoon at the hotels asking
that apartments be- reserved, one OF
which stated that the special consisted
Of ten cars crowded with people, who
were accompanied by one of Kansas
City's best brass bands.
From the west, as we learned by spe-
cial telegram, No. 6 had additional
cars attached to the regular train, all
of which were crowded with excursion
lists from Wichita, Newton, Florence
and other cities between here and the
border tier.

The entertainment.

The Entertainment.
Last nights entertainment at the
Whitley probably saw as large an audi
ence as has ever congregated in that
building. Long before the opening of
the doors an immense throng gathered
on Sixth avenue and on Merchant
street, attracted by the music of the
band, which was discoursed in front Of
the building. The main portion of the
orchestra chairs were filed by our
friends from abroad, and every one of
them was seated before the doors were
open to the public generally. Shortly
after 8 o'clock the Kansas City orches-
ira struck up and treated the audience
to some splendid selections, which were
followed by our home band coming on
the stage and giving some splendid
music, which was warmly applauded
by the visitors.
Col. II. G. Cross then, after a few in
troduetOry remarks of welcome to the
Kansas City delegation and some hap
Ply illusions to the remarkable growth
and prosperity Of the great
city on the border of Mis-
souri, and Kansas, stated the
objects aimed at by the gentlemen
having charge of the meeting, and then
introduced Mr.. /. Z. Lambert, who
proceeded to describe the many natural
advantages Of this city. Geograhpi-
cally, he said, Emporia is located in the
midst of one Of the most beautiful
valleys in Kansas, having no rivals
nearer than Topeka. She is the Queen
OF the Neosho valley. Here are located
the Santa Fe's greatest interests,
as is shown by the number OF branches
of that great system that enter our city.
This part Of his address Mr.. Lambert
illustrated by map showing
Emporia as the railroad center of
Kansas, having the Santa Fe
main line, Howard Branch, Southern
Kansas, Chicago, Kansas 3 Western,
Missouri, Kansas s. Southwestern, the
Missouri Pacific, the Carbonate branch
Of the Union Pacific, the Emporia, Win
field s. Fl. Smith and tho Rock Island.
Mr.. Lambert was followed by the
Misses Gilmore and Weaver in selec-
tion from "Prince Charming" which
was beautifully rendered by the little
performers and was heartily applauded
Next came piccolo solo and accom-
paniment by the Kansas City orchestra
Mrs. Capt Sommers and Mrs. Charlie:
Harris then favored the audience with

a clear and forcible speech, to show u
the many interests of Emporia. Il

COLUMBUS, Kas., May 1O.-An un-
known man was struck by the west
bound train on the Frisco Road on the
Springer river bridge, twelve miles east
of here, to-day, and died four hours
later. He is about 20 years old, five feet
dressed in wine colored coat and vest,
and black and blue checked pants. No
papers or valuables we're found on him
to identify him. He had laid down on
ties outside of the track, but raised his
head just before the train reached him,
and was knocked off by the pilot.
